This presentation will detail the synthesis of polyphenolic stilbenoids and their ferrocene-substitutedderivatives. Resveratrol and chiricanine A are simplenatural products that contain hydroxy-substituted stilbene structures. Resveratrol is known for its biological and medicinal properties; chiricanine A is toxic against a. aegyptii larvae and has antifungal properties. We have prepared derivatives of thesecompounds where aryl rings are substituted by ferrocene units. Ferrocene moieties mayenhance medicinal properties or biological activities of molecules (Tetrahedron63 (2007) 4018-4026; ChemMedChem 1 (2006) 551-559). They are also of interest for their electrochemical and optical properties. We have utilized Andrus' decarbonylative Heck arylationmethodology (Tetrahedron Letters 44 (2003) 4819-4822) as a key step in oursyntheses.
